What is the routine
on the trek?
Trekkers normally start their walk early, after a hot breakfast,
to enjoy the morning sun bathing the peaks. Carry a light sack for your
camera, lunch box and your windcheater. Ask your tour operator to arrange
for porters before hand, who can carry your other baggage and all equipment
- leaving you free to enjoy the peace and beauty of the mountains and
valleys. By late afternoon you could reach your new destination where
the staff sets up a camp and the food. Evenings generally tend to be lively
with some porter entertaining you with his tribal song while his friends
improvise musical instruments or just having a lively camp fire discussion
of your own. Early morning, a hand stretches out with a hot mug of tea
followed by hot water for a wash. Cooked breakfast and off you go again
to your new destination.
